Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the large-scale integration of new energy resources into the grid, power system resource regulation has become a key technology in facilitating the consumption of distributed renewable energy and supporting the realization of the carbon neutrality goals. However, as the proportion of distributed energy resources and flexible loads in the grid gradually increases, their disordered disturbance characteristics cause frequent problems such as the deterioration of power quality and over-limit flow. Due to a lack of active supporting technology for source–network–load–storage resource management, power system security and high-quality and economic operation face huge challenges. To fully "wake up" the regulation ability of controllable resources in the system, it is urgent to apply advanced communication technologies and regulation technologies to the power system so as to enhance the overall viewability and controllability of the system, and make the power system operation more intelligent. However, with the continuous increase in new energy proportion and the gradual deepening of cyber–physical fusion in the systems, it not only intensifies the uncertainty of source-side output and load-side demand in the physical layer but also makes the information uncertainties such as transmission delay, packet loss, and network attacks more prominent. In addition, the two kinds of uncertainties are symmetry and superimposition, which are prone to present the feature of “1 + 1 > 2”, seriously affecting the operation safety, quality and economy of new cyber–physical power systems. Therefore, based on the perspective of information and physical symmetry, it is urgent to explore and study the cyber–physical co-regulation and optimization methods in smart power systems so as to improve the performance of the systems under multiple uncertainties.

The inherent stochasticity of electric operation vehicle (EOV) charging poses challenges to the stability and efficiency of regional power distribution networks. Existing charging behavior decision-making models often prioritize revenue considerations, neglecting the influence of multi-time-span characteristics and the potential irrationality of EOV owners. To address these limitations, this study proposes a comprehensive framework encompassing three aspects. First, operational data are statistically analyzed to reconstruct EOV operation scenarios, establishing a dynamic charging scheme tailored to multi-time-span characteristics. Second, an improved ITCH model is developed using operational equivalent change to incorporate both gains and losses. Third, a WFL framework is employed to integrate the perceptual attenuation of revenue into the ITCH model. Simulation results show that decision-makers (DMs) demonstrate a preference for charging schemes with high equivalent perceived revenues and low time costs. Moreover, when the charging price is doubled, revenue perception attenuation leads decision-makers to postpone their charging behavior. Compared to other models, the equivalent perception intertemporal choice heuristics (EP-ITCH) charging model results in reduced load peaks, valleys, and variances on the grid side. This study highlights the model’s effectiveness and accuracy in optimizing EOV charging infrastructure. Full article

False data injection attacks are executed in the electricity markets of smart grid systems for financial benefits. The attackers can maximize their profits through modifying the estimated transmission power and changing the prices of market electricity. As a response, defenders need to minimize expected load losses and generator trips through load and power generation adjustments. The selection of strategies of the attacking and defending sides turns out to be a symmetric game process. This article proposes a hybrid game theory method for analyzing the attack–defense confrontation: firstly, a micro-grid-based power market model considering false data injection attacks is established using the Nash equilibrium method; secondly, the attack–defense game function is constructed and solved via the Stackelberg equilibrium algorithm. The Markov game algorithm and distributed learning algorithm are used to update equilibrium function; finally, a dynamic game behavior model of the two players is constructed through simulating the attack–defense probability. The evolutionary game method is used to select the optimal defense strategy for dynamic probability changes. Modified IEEE standard bus systems are illustrated to certify the effectiveness of the proposed model. Full article

The integration of advanced sensor technology and control technology has gradually improved the operational efficiency of traditional power systems. Due to the undetectability of these attacks using traditional chi-square detection techniques, the state estimation of power systems is vulnerable to cyber–physical attacks, For this reason, this paper presents a novel detection and identification framework for detecting malicious attacks in power systems from the perspective of cyber–physical symmetry. To consider the undetectability of cyber–physical attacks, a physical dynamics detection model using the unknown input observers (UIOs) and cosine similarity theorem is proposed. Through the design of UIO parameters, the influence of attacks on state estimation can be eliminated. A cosine similarity value-based detection criterion is proposed to replace the traditional detection threshold. To further cut down the effects caused by malicious attacks, an observer combination-based attack identification framework is established. Finally, simulations are given to demonstrate that the proposed security method can detect and identify the injected malicious attacks quickly and effectively. Full article
